The cosmic snus galactic outpost

[Snusdog]

Ok so I couldn’t think of a name for this thread ops:

Nonetheless, I’ve been meaning to ask this question for some time. So here goes…..

I use three primary forms of tobacco. Snus is my mainstay; then there is nasal snuff; and about once or twice a week, I enjoy a pipe full of a stout English blend.

Now each of these forms of tobacco has a noticeably different effect on me

Snus keeps me focused and on an even keel- no real highs or lows
Snuff is like a double espresso- it will wake me up and keep me revved
A Pipe will mellow me out and actually makes me drowsy

Am I the only one here or do any of you who use various forms of tobacco find a difference in the way they affect you?

I don't really notice the different forms. I don't even notice nicotine at all unless I overdo it, and if I don't get nicotine I get crabby(that's a euphemism :^D). When I first tried snuff(American Peach) I felt buzzed, but I don't even get that anymore.

I don't smoke a pipe, so can't speak to that. But I absolutely notice a difference with snuff, especially if I use it a lot. Can make me feel almost high, something I never get from snus.

[Snusdog]

I always assumed it was the nic. But even there it’s different. A stark snus will make my head hurt. A strong pipe tobacco (like one of the Gawith twists) just puts me to sleep. The effect from snuff is unlike any nic effect I have ever felt. No buz, no headache, no dizziness, just ramped up.

I must just be a test model for another species or something

I've used only snus since october, with the exception of a cig here and there, typically while drinking. The jolt of nicotine produces a hybrid of what you described, it wakes me up and mellows me out. Recently, since trying nasal snuff, I've experienced an almost similar effect, so it should be interesting to see if I'm able to refrain from having a cig the next time I get tanked with friends that are heavy smokers.

great. now i gotta try snuff too. man 'o man, i'm gonna quit reading this stuff, you people are killing me! :evil:

[snusjus]

I use snus exclusively. I would think snuff would give you nicotine at a quicker rate, with the downside being that it becomes excreted from your body faster (much like cigarettes).

Since I primarily use "ekstra sterk" snus, I get the best of both worlds; I get a high amount of nicotine that stays in my circulatory system for a long time.

Chewy,

You’ve got los down now its time to grow your other nad. And you’ve got to do it like a Southerner and a true Texan- no fru fru flowery snuff. Here’s what to do:
1. Go down to the grocery store and get you an American Sweet Scotch (or Rail Road Mills Plain Scotch)
2. line up a bunch of beer put the snuff tin at the end of the line
3. Drink your way to the snuff
4. When you get there, log on and give us a live play by play

Or you can order a Toque snuff or one of the Wilsons of the Sharrow snuffs and take the path of less pain.

Regardless, know we remain committed to all sinal explosions

In addition you what Snusdog said, it's customary to take the American scotches....

I was going to be mean and give some poor advice here. I would expect you to know better, but in case you don't, I'll be good :^D

zmanzero, with all my tobacco usage. snuff makes me happiest. Not saying that snuff is what I use to take care of my nicotine needs, snus wins that hands down and I will be forever grateful to snus for that. But that snuff just makes me giggle like a girl with excitement in ways no tobacco has ever done for me. It is yummy, and the bump I get from it feels so good.

BUT...

I get no crashes from it as long as I have been using my snus. I feel the good with it with no bad following. It is just a treat. And my life is hard enough, I deserve that treat.

Please...go buy the Toque sampler pack. It is cheap and I am willing to bet you will fall in love too.
